- TriviaJack Webb had intended to do another revival of the series in 1982. However, because of Harry Morgan's commitments to both M*A*S*H (1972) and its spin-off AfterMASH (1983), he didn't sign on for the proposed remake. Webb then decided to cast Kent McCord in the role of Friday's new partner; either as Jim Reed (the character McCord played on Adam-12 (1968)) or as a new character altogether. Unfortunately, those plans never came to fruition due to Webb dying of a massive heart attack in December 1982.
- GoofsHarry Morgan, the actor cast to play Officer Gannon, stood only 5'6", and would have failed the height requirement for LAPD officers at that time.

Featured review
"This Is The Story...."
What Adam 12 did for criminals, this show did for drug pushers and users. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and Bill Gannon (Harry Morgan) are buddies and partners in the Los Angelos County Police Force,Detectives Division. A top show in the Sixties, this series educated many watchers on the dangers of alcohol and substance abuse and provided a top notch drama at the same time. There was a bit of wry humor between Friday and Gannon that made the series and the characters so likeable, but there was also a lesson in it's warnings on drugs and how the law worked. The formula was so successful that it worked equally well in Webb's creation and Dragnet spin-off, Adam 12, and again for Emergency. A true classic in TV history, this is a series that everyone needs to watch.
